TL;DR: The history of the Hun invasions of the Danubian and Balkan provinces of the Roman empire is still not as clear as one would like as mentioned in this paper, but even here universal agreement has never been achieved.
Abstract: T HISTORY of the Hun invasions of the Danubian and Balkan provinces of the Roman empire is still not as clear as one would like. We are better informed about the major and most destructive raids of 441, 442 and 447, but even here universal agreement has never been achieved. Still, it was the severe impact of these large-scale and effective incursions in the 440's that overshadowed and blotted out the memory of previous, less destructive ones. It is known, for example, that the Huns broke into Thrace and caused havoc in 422, but little has ever been said about it. The latest discussion of the invasion concludes thus: \"Nowhere in the history of the Huns is the one-sidedness of our sources more manifest. Hun bands skirmished with Roman soldiers almost at the gates of Constantinople. Yet no word about it appears in the detailed ecclesiastical histories, no allusion in the vast theological literature of the time.\"l This statement is not entirely correct. There is far more evidence for the Hun invasion of Thrace than has been realised, and it is time these pieces of evidence were fitted together to elucidate the course and consequence of the invasion.

TL;DR: The word tragodia reflects the sacrifice of a prize goat, as many ancient authors thought, and thymele reflects the link between tragedy and sacrifice, a link discernible in the themes as well as the origins of tragedy.
